anika engelbrecht: bent mirror
<br /> a mirror-polished stainless steel surface curves to create a seamless shelf.
‘bent’ by anika engelbrecht
german designer anika engelbrecht has created ‘bent’, a mirror-polished stainless steel sheet that curves at the bottom, forming a shelf. the reflective surface is usually used in prisons, public restrooms and children’s toys since it is durable, malleable and shatter-proof, unlike glass. the metal is only 1.5 mm thick and much lighter than traditional mirrors. various colors are applied to the back to accentuate the bend in the surface.
three formats are available
the bent surface acts as a shelf
landscape format
portrait mirror with purple back
